consider that cell phone is not beneficial and in accordance with

Han : Hi Intan! How’s life?
Intan : Hi, Han...never better.
Han : You know what? I just read a newspaper this morning
and there was news that the government is going to
block facebook in our country.
Intan : Really, why?
Han : I heard that the government wants to do that because
there are more negative contents than the positives.
Intan : Well, that’s exactly what I feel about facebook now.
Nowadays, people use facebook for something
inappropriate.

54
UNIT 6 | “I Couldn’t Agree More with You”

Han : Seriously? I don’t think so. You know, how many people
can connect because of facebook. Even you can
communicate with people overseas from it.
Intan : No doubt about it. However, don’t you know that most
of criminal cases happened because they chat with
someone they have never known before? Not to
mention that it happens to underage children.
Han : We can’t directly blame facebook for this case. In case
of criminal happened to children, I think that we need to
tell parents to pay more attention to their children.
Parents need to guide them and give more education
about how dangerous it is to meet stranger.
Intan : After listening to your opinion, I suppose you are right.
But I think there is another problem beside criminal
cases, right? Hate speech for instance.
Han : Exactly! Hate speech becomes another big issue why the
government insists on blocking facebook.
Intan : And what do you say about it? I don’t get it why people
are so rude to say that in social media. But in fact, they
don’t even have any courage.
Han : I couldn’t agree you more. People are likely to be
someone different in social media. But again, it is not
the reason to block it. There is a law that already
regulates the criminal case.
Intan : You always tell me that no reasons to close facebook.
Can you give me the benefit of this social media?
Han : Haha...Sure, not only connecting people all around the
world, it also provides so many information. You know,
most people use facebook now and this is why
nowadays all media also have their page on it.
Intan : Well, I suppose you are right

1. Read the passage below, and make a draft of power point presentation

TIME MANAGEMENT

Time is something that you can lose and never get back. People are always
wishing they had more hours available in the day. The solution to this
common problem is easier than one might realize. With a few minor
adjustments in how you utilize your time you can change how you manage
your time. Proper time management is something that can change your life
on a fundamental basis for the better.
Every daily cycle consists of a twenty-four hour period. This is one of those
things that is what it is and cannot be changed. Even though you can’t
control time, you can control how the time you have is used. This realization
is the first step to being effective in your own time management. It is
important to take stock in what is important in your daily life and focus on
allotting time for these things. Anything that is non-important should be
eliminated.
Developing skills to effectively manage your time will bring forth
improvements to your life on a dramatic scale. You must be accepting to
making fundamental changes. You have to learn to prioritize and take things
one step at a time. Chances for failure increase when you take on more than
you can handle or when you take on too much at one time. Developing time
management skills will also help you get to know yourself a little better. This
is the first step in proper time management. As people age, it becomes much

110
UNIT 11 | “Let’s Present Our Ideas”
easier to lose track of important things in your life. It seems crazy that
humans allow this to happen, but it is something that happens really easily.
The first thing you must do is get in touch with what it is you want to
accomplish from your life.
This is the point where you locate your vision. When people are young, they
believe that anything is possible. Think back to your younger days and
remember how you envisioned your life at that time. It is likely that many of
your priorities have changed since then, but some of the core ones will have
remained the same.
Begin by focusing on the things you want to achieve. Pick something big and
something small. After you have decided on what those things are, take
steps to formulate a plan that can set you on a path to achieving these
things. Completing one step toward each goal is an excellent start. By going
at your own pace, you begin to plan and manage your time much more
effectively. Planning is key to mapping out the direction in which you should
head.
